My name is Parrish Miller and I'm running for re-election as the Republican Precinct Committeeman for Precinct 2116 on the platform of Limited Government, Lower Taxes, and Individual Liberty!

I'd certainly appreciate your vote!

Who is Parrish Miller?

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and have lived in Idaho's beautiful Treasure Valley for the last eight years. I currently work as a policy analyst and researcher and I write for a variety of blogs and websites. I am also a web designer and social media specialist.

I have served in numerous capacities in both grassroots organizations and the Republican Party including as a Board Member for Tea Party Boise and the US Patriot Club, as an alternate Board Member for the Republican Liberty Caucus of Idaho, as a Delegate from Ada County to the Idaho Republican State Convention in 2010 and as an Alternate in 2012, and as a Precinct Committeeman from District 21. I can frequently be heard testifying before Idaho State legislative committees on topics ranging from nullification to our right to keep and bear arms.

I unwaveringly support the principles of Limited Government, Lower Taxes, and Individual Liberty; and I always endeavor to promote and advocate those values, both privately and publicly.

A Republican Precinct Committeeman represents the GOP voters of his or her precinct at the County Republican Party level and is the face of the GOP within the precinct. In many cases, a Republican Precinct Committeeman might be the only party official a voter ever meets in person.

This volunteer position is really what one makes of it. Some do more than others, but the Republican Precinct Committeeman's job is in essence all about helping to grow the GOP and working to deliver the maximum number of Republican votes from his or her precinct on Election Day. Precinct Committeemen comprise the core of any grassroots effort and no political campaign can be successful without these front line GOP ambassadors.¹

Ada County is Idaho's most populous and most politically influential county. This one county contains over a quarter of the state's population and includes 9 of the state's 35 legislative districts. Within those 9 districts are 145 precincts each of which is (or should be) represented by a Precinct Committeeman. These 145 Precinct Committeemen make up the Central Committee of the Ada County Republican Party. Considering that the Republican Party currently holds over 80 percent (85/105) of the seats in the state legislature, having a voice in the makeup and oversight of the Republican Party is rather significant. By electing a Republican Precinct Committeeman you are in essence electing your most local representative in the state's political structure.

That's okay! Even if you're not currently registered with a political party in Idaho, you can register as a Republican anytime — even on Primary Election Day itself. (Just remember to bring your ID with you to the polling place.)

Unfortunately, if you are currently registered with another political party (Democrats, Libertarians, Constitutionalists, etc.), the deadline has passed to change your affiliation, so you won't be able to vote in the Republican Primary during this election cycle.

The easiest way to find out your precinct and your voting location is to click on "How do I know what precinct I live in?" and use the form on that page. If you already know that you live in Precinct 2116, however, your voting location is at the following address:

If you would like to assist me in my re-election campaign for Precinct Committeeman for Precinct 2116, the first thing I would ask you to do is actually vote for me on May 20, 2014 (as long as you live in my precinct.)

The second thing I would request is that you ask your neighbors to vote for me as well. The only way I can win this race is if the folks who live in my precinct actually realize that I'm running and take the time to vote for me!

Finally, if you've already committed to vote for me and you've already talked to other folks in the precinct and asked them to vote for me, I am accepting donations to help fund signs and mailers to get the word out about my campaign. This is a low-budget, grassroots campaign, but if you could spare $5 or $10 to help me send postcards to a few more people, I'd certainly appreciate it.

Thank you and I look forward to representing you to the District 21 and Ada County Central Committees as I continue to advocate Limited Government, Lower Taxes, and Individual Liberty!
